Life of Pi Review http://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/dec/23/life-pi-ang-lee-review



He adopts different styles to fit his new subjects, and while there are certain recurrent themes, among them the disruption of families and young people facing moral and physical challenges, there are no obsessive concerns of the sort once considered a necessity for auteurs. He has a fastidious eye for a great image but he also has a concern for language.
His magnificent new film is a version of Yann Martel's Booker prize-winning novel, Life of Pi, adapted by an American writer, David Magee, whose previous credits were films set in England during the first half of the 20th century, Finding Neverland andMiss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. From its opening scene of animals and birds strutting and preening themselves in a sunlit zoo to the final credits of fish and nautical objects shimmering beneath the sea, the movie has a sense of the mysterious, the magical. This effect is compounded by the hallucinatory 3D, and in tone the film suggests Robinson Crusoerewritten by Laurence Sterne.





This astonishing novel/film is an extraordinary, as well as an adventurous true story. The main purpose on the fact why I admire this film is because of the way the story had been laid out, throughout the whole film. The reason why I have chose this is because the reviews had been highly positive and really good. The exciting words that had been used to describe the film such as 'magnificent' and 'fascinating' engaged myself to choose this review. The features that had caught my eye was the photographs used within the review. The dashing images and videos that the review contains are pictures of the Royal Bengal Tiger, as well as the character. It is also a movie that leaves a profound message to all individuals that had been in the same situation in the past. These images are worth noticing, and the videos are well worth watching because it raises an insane amount of questions about the film and how it is produced throughout. Personally, the reason why I think it has been written in a way that has high vocabulary.
